Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Cut the rabbit meat into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

Thread the marinated rabbit pieces onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of onion, bell peppers, and zucchini.

Sprinkle cumin and chili flakes over the skewers for extra flavor before grilling.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the rabbit is cooked through and slightly charred.

Check the internal temperature of the rabbit, ensuring it reaches at least 160°F (70°C).

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
